The Philharmonic Society.

The facts about the Philharmonic festi-
val and the management of the opera
house, concerning which there has been
some talk in public and private, are as
follows: When the question of holding
festival this spring came before the di-
rectors of the society, they felt that it was
essential to obtain the use of the opera
house at more reasonable price than
heretofore, in order to have the more
money to put into singers, orchestra and
attractions for the festival. A committee
accordingly waited upon the lessee and
manager of the opera house, stated the
case, and requested him to make reduc-
ton upon his former price, as the festival
would De held at time when he Would
not be at any expense for heating the
mouse, and he would be allowed to fix the
time, within certain limits, so as not to
interfere with other engagements for the
opera house. Mr.. Walker treated the
committee with entire courtesy took his
time TO consider the matter, and named
a price for the opera house, Sl5 higher
than that OF last year-being at the rate of
little over $50 day for each of the four
days OF the festival, which he thought was
very reasonable The officers of the Phil
harmonic society, however, thought this
TOO nigh, and that they must abandon the
idea OF holding festival this spring.
since then the manager of the opera house
has made more favorable proposition,
with which little fault can be found-and
when the president of the society, who is
absent returns, the directors will recon
slider the subject of holding a festival,
and we trust will decide to have one.

WEDNESDAYS RACES.
Young Columbus Scores Another Victory
in Straight Heats

The match race for $50 side between
j. w. Hayes's b. m. Fanny H. and Ed.
ward Flanetys b. G., Young Columbus,
was trotted on the ice Wednesday about
noon, on the same tracks used IN the
former race between these horses. The
race was won by Young Columbus in
three straight heats without making a
skip which clearly demonstrated to the
spectators that Mr.. Flanery's horse had
more speed, as Mr., Hayess mare was
driven to her limit. The judges were f. T.
Harper of Keeseville, H. NJ. Price and
George Babcock of Burlington. The start
ing judges were j. j. Thompson, and Z.
f. Dolan and the running judges were
Garrett Cosgrove and James McGrath of
Burlington and Charles BrOwnell of South
Burlington, A little explanation in re-
gard to the time the race started is neces
sary as 1t looked to some like put-up
JOB. In former race between these
horses there was more water on the track
used for Fanny II. than Columbus, and
some thought that caused her defeat, so
to ensure a hard track this race
was set for 10 o'clock, a. m. as the
weather was warm when the race was
made. AS it came off cold Monday and
Tuesday, however, the wners were will
ing to have it at 2 clock p. m, which
would be more agreeable hour for spec
tators, and it was so announced in Tues
day mornings issue of this paper. Owing
TO the pressing engagements of one of the
drivers in the race, who said it must be
trotted before dinner or not at all, it came
off to please him-'as regards time only"
and disappointed many of an afternoons
sport. quite large crowd was in attend
